Cojean Restaurant Wi-Fi Hotspots in Paris

Restaurant Overview

Cojean is a small chain of French high-end fast food restaurants specializing in the production of organic and original salads, sandwiches, soups, juices and hot dishes for eat-in or take-out. Founded by Alain Cojean in 2001, it is a simplified joint stock company managed by Harpan.

While studying law in Paris, Alain Cojean worked at McDonald's to finance his schooling. He ended up staying with the company and eventually became Director of R&D for McDonald's Europe. However, in the new millennium, he decided to leave the multinational conglomerate to launch his own fast food chain, based on core values of health and well-being.

The first Cojean establishment opened its doors on 15 November 2001 at 6 rue de Sèze in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. By the end of 2010, the company had built 17 restaurants, all of them located in Paris and its close suburbs. 2010 revenues were €19 million.

The restaurant's menu changes daily, and every product is made with fresh ingredients, prepared in a central kitchen and delivered to each store every day. Cojean has apparently established a market niche: 3 out of 4 of its customers are women. (see videos)
